hey guys, I cant find any threads on this, if there is, please let me know..
my man and I already have one Bully.. Mr. Lou Ferrigno. he just turned one, we are getting him fixed in late january. Currently he is very energentic and at times rebellious. like he will be playing nicely with his toys and then randomly look at us and start barking and jumping and biting to play im assuming, but when we tell him no, he argues until we put him in time out (the other room w/ the door closed)
He's usually pretty well behaved but like small children he can be pretty bratty. I think he's just bored and he needs a brother or a sister. My man thinks he just needs strick training and we dont need a second dog any time soon.
My question is, have any of you been in the same boat as far as having a crazy bullie and bringing another one into the equation, did it help fix their crazieness? would you suggest a female or a male? Lou is Alpha. he was the biggest in the litter and he thinks he's the boss (even though he knows he's not) but he always trys, and if anyone lets him get away with it he will dominate...
If getting another dog is a good idea, what kind of dog would be good? he loves to play with big dogs, but i think a small dog would teach him to be gentle (hes EXTREMLY gentle with babies and generally pretty gentle with small dogs)
would another bullie be best because they tire out the same and can both play rough? or would something totally diff be good to?
my man said i can get another fur baby if i do enough research and show him it would be ok.
another thing, do i get another puppy or do i get one thats close to his age already?
I would love to get a frenchie or a white EB girl (name her Olga and put a big ol bow on her head :D)
alright i think thats enough questions here haha let me know what you think or ideas/ advice anything? i just dont know where to start? or should he simply be an only child?
